SLL?
came to say the same ... what is it?
where is this $10k everyday market?

---
"Trading coins with volume below $10k is a waste of time"
Disagree but will compromise that the term "Trading coins" can mean at least $10k any given day.
  

"ETH just came out. I wouldn't touch it"
agree but if you like risk you could still trade it cuz vol.

Trading Coins : BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE, XMR, DASH, PPC, CLAM, MAID, BLK, BTS

sorry BTCD/NXT your numbers lack open markets and consistent vol.

another term would be instant liquid or "Quids"
Quids: BTC, LTC, ETH

and ETH will drop off, then return in vol on a crash down

and Nubits or something like it will likely join the "Quids"

Did you research BTCD, and if so, why did that not get included?

Hundreds of coins out there. Which ones should be on your radar?

I would probably pick the one with the best name, most resilient community, and most creative developer! Cheesy

and as the OP suggests one with constant decent liquidity.

I was really surprised by SLL too. Also surprised that they are not discussed more here, given how they've performed.

Whether you include SLL in your list is a judgment call. On the pro-include side, it has huge volume, it's had high volume for a long time, and it's been traded as long as the "old ones" -- LTC and NMC.

On the pro-exclude side, SLL is not a decentralized crypto currency. It's a digital currency controlled by a corporation.

Back to the pro-include side, the fact that there is real use demand for SLL, for playing Second Life, is unusual. There is typically no real life demand for shit coins, other than speculative. SLL price has been rising steadily recently. It went from 760 sats a year ago to 1580 today. You could have doubled your BTC by holding SLL for a year.


Second Life Lindens!!!  Cheesy

Did not know what SLL stood for lol

Whenever I feel like it and have the spare time.

I've written a program to do most of the work. But it still takes time to download data on all the coins from all the exchanges, merge it, and then write up the post.

I might have some time in the coming days to do an update, though no guarantees.


I will PM you soon...

How often do you update the list?

So why not raise the cut-off point instead of adding more and more coins to the list? I would think as time goes on and Bitcoin and the alts mature, we should be raising the bar, not lowering it. It's been about 6 months since you first posted this, why not re-run the calculations at 365 days as a cutoff point?

I have two criteria -- age and volume. When I use both of these criteria, the youngest coin on the list is actually BTS, at 382 days of age.

A bunch of new coins on the list. First time I did this, it was BTC plus 34 alts. Then, BTC plus 48 other coins. Now, BTC plus 60 coins. The more we do this, the more coins can pass the 200 day cutoff.

I think I was pretty liberal with the 200 day cutoff. But, I figured, why not. Most of the coins near the bottom drop off in the next step anyway, so might as well show the data for them.
